Flaring Work
Main cause for gas leakage is due to defect of flaring work. Carry out correct flaring work in the
following procedure.
Cut the pipes and the cable.
1. Use the piping kit accessory or the pipes
purchased locally.
2. Measure the distance between the indoor and
the outdoor unit.
3. Cut the pipes a little longer than measured
distance.
4. Cut the cable 1.5m longer than the pipe length.
Burrs removal
1. Completely remove all burrs from the cut cross
section of pipe/tube.
2. While removing burrs put the end of the copper
tube/pipe in a downward direction while
removing burrs location is also changed in
order to avoid dropping burrs into the tubing.
Putting nut on
• Remove flare nuts attached to indoor and
outdoor unit, then put them on pipe/tube having
completed burr removal.
(not possible to put them on after finishing flare
work)
